and it sho is a happy day . . .: cHiCaGo

So....for Spring Break 2011, Mary Beth and I went to Chicago! I hadn't ever been there and the vacation could NOT have come at a better time!!

We ate LOTS of yummy food (minus the unexpected stir fry restaurant), walked until we couldn't feel our legs, pampered ourselves with breakfast in bed, had drinks at the top of the John Hancock Building on St. Patrick's Day, experienced the American Girl store like we were 8 years old again and had an overall lovely time.

I'll shut up for now and let the pictures do the talking...

We stayed in this old boutique hotel that was right in the middle of everything! The hotel had so much character...I loved it!

how cool were our beds?

The curtains had music notes on them!! I know I'm a big dork, but this made me really excited! I knew it had to be a sign

The view from our room. I know what you're thinking and I'm right there with you....ballin.

After taking an hour to walk to something that was practically across the street from our hotel, we finally made it to the bean!

You can bring your dolls here and they'll fix their hair. MB and I decided we're bringing all of our dolls to get their hair did next time. Lord knows their hair is some kind of nappy.
